- 0:05Bag alert. This is the third day in a row that we've had bag alerts. All right
- 0:11We're gonna talk about all of the bag alerts that have happened recently
- 0:14We're also gonna talk about this brandy. Now you can debo Samuel trade talk
- 0:19I know you guys probably don't want to hear it, but we have to discuss it also the draft is over
- 0:25We got to talk about the draft. We also have to talk about the winners and losers of the draft on the sixth episode
- 0:31Of the football junkies podcast. I am your host your GM
- 0:36That's not on the team right now that has produced six Hall of Famers five all-pros and three
- 0:43Pro bowlers kale. Let's get it. All right, folks
- 0:47So let's get into these bag alerts. Okay first bag alert
- 0:52AJ Brown once again, I don't know why this happens, but every time the draft comes around
- 0:59Money is always coming his way, but AJ Brown has inked a three-year
- 1:0596 million dollar extension to stay with the Eagles
- 1:09He will be receiving a 19.8 million dollar signing bonus 84 million
- 1:14In total guarantees which averages around 32 million a year
- 1:20Um when we look at AJ Brown since being traded from the Titans to the Eagles
- 1:26His career has just skyrocketed. Okay AJ Brown has continued to show why he is still
- 1:34One of the best receivers not only in just the NFC, but in the league as a whole
- 1:40he is one of those receivers where if you don't have a
- 1:44A physical corner that can really you know go strive for stride with him and contest those 50-50 balls
- 1:53He's gonna get it. He's gonna get it. He is going to get it
- 1:58Honestly speaking here the Eagles have won this trade
- 2:02What they gave up to get AJ Brown definitely was justified
- 2:07And you know congrats to him now to the second bag alert
- 2:11We have defensive tackle for the Patriots Christian Barmore. He has inked a four-year
- 2:1792 million dollar extension
- 2:2041.8 of that is guaranteed which averages around
- 2:2423 million a year now Christian Barmore
- 2:28Is coming off of a eight and a half sack season 39 solo tackles and
- 2:3364 total tackles and one fourth fumble according to ESPN now
- 2:39Christian Barmore by all accounts has shown that he is a productive defensive tackle, especially for the Patriots
- 2:48Since getting drafted
- 2:50He his name has been under the radar, but he is a very very very productive player
- 2:57He's not a type of player where you know, he's gonna he's he's gonna create these you know crazy numbers
- 3:03But when you need somebody to get the job done Christian Barmore is that person? Okay? I remember
- 3:10Leading up to the draft in his draft class specifically
- 3:14Christian Barmore was considered a first-round pick
- 3:19But the only reason why he fell out of the first round was allegedly he had attitude problems
- 3:25And he couldn't take corrective criticism correctly some something crazy, you know
- 3:30But um, you know congrats to him and now for the third that's right third bag alert right third bag alert
- 3:39All-pro future Hall of Fame one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history Travis Kelsey
- 3:46Yes, Travis Kelsey ain't a two-year 34 point 25 million dollar deal to stay with the Chiefs
- 3:5417 of that is guaranteed at signing which averages around
- 3:5917.12 million dollars
- 4:02Let's just be real here folks Travis Kelsey
- 4:05Continues to be one of the most dominant and one of the most consistent tight ends
- 4:11in the NFL right now
- 4:13They game in and game out he continues to show up when the receivers are getting locked up left and right
- 4:21Well, Holmes can always trust Travis Kelsey. He's always gonna get open. He's always gonna make the big play the big block
- 4:28Whatever he needs to do to motivate that offense to score and to win. All right
- 4:35Now that we've gotten over all of the bag alerts and congratulations to those three players for their bag alerts
- 4:43Let's talk about this Brandon I you and Deebo Samuel Trey talk. Yes. Yes
- 4:48those two players
- 4:50Now during the draft there were reports starting to circulate that the 49ers were also receiving calls
- 4:57For both Brandon I you it and Deebo Samuel originally it was just calls for Brandon I you it
- 5:03But I guess they wanted to see
- 5:06What would be the market like if they were to include Deebo Samuel as well?
- 5:11Also, we knew the one of them got traded. However
- 5:15At this point, I would not be surprised if one of the other does get traded. Let's be real here folks
- 5:22The 49ers are in a position where one or two things can happen
- 5:29Either they can trade away Deebo Samuel and then you know be able to pay Brandon I you it or vice versa one of those two
- 5:37But we cannot say right now that both of those players are going to be are still going to be on the 49ers
- 5:45especially
- 5:46With with what the 49ers drafted in the first round. They drafted Ricky pierce all so
- 5:51You you now have Ricky pierce all you have Brandon I you it Deebo Samuel and Juan Jennings
- 5:59That's a lot. That's a lot of receivers and it's only one ball. So someone is going to have to get the axe and
- 6:07I wouldn't be surprised if it's Deebo Samuel only because
- 6:12Now that the reports have come out that you know the 49ers were receiving, you know calls for Deebo Samuel that moneys things up
- 6:20They just paid him and now essentially, you know, they're just going to move off of him
- 6:26So he's in his mind. He's probably like, you know what forget about it. I just want out at this point
- 6:33Not to mention. I think teams will be more open to trading for him simply because his contract is a little bit more
- 6:42It's more easy to digest compared to
- 6:47You know giving up high draft draft picks
- 6:50For Brandon are you and then paying him top dollar?
- 6:54Especially with how the receiver market has basically blossomed
- 6:58Within the last few days with both AJ Brown getting his deal and a mom Ross ain't brown getting his deal
- 7:04And as well as Rashad beaming getting his deal as well
- 7:08So that the the number is going to continue to rise
- 7:12So at some point they're they're gonna have to make a decision on if they're on on if they're gonna have to pay him now or
- 7:20Just get rid of him altogether
- 7:22When you take a look at Deebo Samuel's contract
- 7:26He signed a three-year
- 7:2971.5 million dollar deal with a 24 million dollar signing bonus
- 7:3241 million of that was guaranteed at signing
- 7:3558.1 of that money was is in total guarantees now
- 7:41Here is the part where teams might be a little bit more interested if he was traded before
- 7:48May 1st, which I think is tomorrow
- 7:51The new team would carry on two years thirty nine point four million
- 7:5721.9 million of that will be guaranteed in 2024 and
- 8:0117 and a half million
- 8:03guaranteed for his average salary for 2025 and the 49ers will only take a
- 8:1021.7 million dollar dead cap hit but would save
- 8:14$6.8 million so honestly speaking here if a team gave up enough draft compensation
- 8:20I think the 49ers would be more willing to
- 8:24Absorb some of that money while the you know the team that does get Deebo Samuel
- 8:29They would just have to tag you know take the rest which is a little bit more easier compared to you know
- 8:37creating a whole new contract for a player like Brandon I you would because
- 8:43According to spot-rec this and this was before a Marase Brown got his deal and AJ Brown got his deal
- 8:50Brandon I you its market at that time was on was a four-year
- 8:5599.8 million dollar deal which would
- 8:57Average around twenty four point nine million dollars a year that was before
- 9:04Marase Brown got his deal and AJ Brown getting his deal that number has changed dramatically now
- 9:12And so you know some teams might not be willing to to sell out a whole lot of money to Brandon
- 9:18I you would because whether we want to admit it or not before that tree is official officially processed
- 9:25Brandon I you was is gonna want to talk about money
- 9:29There is going to have to be a deal in place
- 9:33That both Brandon I you it and the team can agree upon before that trade is official
- 9:39Otherwise there will not be
- 9:41any movement at all now
- 9:46Is it is it wise for 49ers to probably move one of these players?
- 9:52Yes
- 9:53And no at the same time and the only reason why I say that is because
- 9:58Yes, at the same time, you know, it's it's good to to move off of you know disgruntled players
- 10:04But at the same time
- 10:08Who is to say that you would get the draft compensation that you want right because
- 10:15At this point the trade market is it's it's crazy. It's a little bit crooked at this point
- 10:20You're seeing, you know all pro pro bowl players who are getting traded for basically pennies on the dollar
- 10:29Okay, perfect example, right?
- 10:32when
- 10:33Jaylee Ramsey was traded from the Rams to the Dolphins everyone everyone was thinking oh
- 10:40The dolphins are gonna have to give up a whole lot just to get Jaylee Ramsey. No, they didn't
- 10:44when the Texans traded for
- 10:47Stefan digs they didn't have to give up a whole lot and even then they avoided
- 10:53The remaining years of Stefan digs his contract and basically pushed the money that he would have made
- 11:00Next year to this year basically making him a free agent once this upcoming season is over with
- 11:07So when you have those type of things in place
- 11:11it can mess it can mess up the trade market and
- 11:14Right now, you know what players that were at one time, you know worth maybe
- 11:21Multiple first-round picks or you know multiple picks are now being you know just shipped around for maybe a third or four for a
- 11:29Fifth a six maybe a conditional second any of those things at this point
- 11:35So we all have to factor in those type of things before a deal of this magnitude could probably occur now
- 11:42Now that we're done talk about that. Let's talk about this draft. Yes the draft
- 11:48The draft the draft the draft. Oh, man. This the draft
- 11:53Definitely had well, it was like a roller coaster. Okay, it started off really slow really slow really slow up up up up up up up
- 12:02Up and then once it got to the point it just went down
- 12:06Okay, as fast as you could possibly think it just went down
- 12:11Now
- 12:12From the Chargers drafting Joe Alt to the Falcons drafting Michael Pinnick's to the Chiefs being able to get Xavier worthy
- 12:20To the Steelers getting Troy Photonu. It was a good draft for a lot of teams now
- 12:28We have to really analyze certain teams that won a little bit more than what other teams did for instance
- 12:35Me personally, I feel like the Eagles definitely won
- 12:38They got two players who
- 12:42Leading up to the draft were mocked to be you know in the top 10 top 15 range, right?
- 12:48And they dropped Cooper D'Ajean was drafted in the second round
- 12:52Quinion Mitchell dropped all the way down, but a lot of that was because
- 12:58There were so many teams that wanted to get all of those quarterbacks, right?
- 13:02Not to mention you had a lot of teams that were also trying to get those offensive linemen specifically the tackles as well
- 13:10So when you have a mixture of those two elements in place a lot of players are going to fall
- 13:17The first defensive player that was drafted was lot to lot to and he went to the Colts. So
- 13:24I say all that to say this
- 13:26Yes, mock drafts are good to look at they are there
- 13:30They they create a lot of conversation create a lot of debates all that different type of stuff
- 13:34But just because there is a mock draft and you know
- 13:37There's a specific player that you may like and it keeps on showing that you know your team is probably going to get them
- 13:44Don't believe it
- 13:46Don't believe it
- 13:47If you would have told me that Brock Bowers would have went to the Raiders
- 13:51Michael Panix going to the Falcons Cooper D'Ajean falling out of the first round
- 13:55Quinneas mental dropping as lowest he did and Nate Wiggins dropping as lowest he did and Troy Fatah new
- 14:02I would have called you a liar. I really would have
- 14:05You are talking about you know those three put those four players alone who?
- 14:10By all means
- 14:13We're probably high on a lot of teams boards
- 14:16Okay, but the only the only knock to one of those players Cooper D'Ajean for example was
- 14:23Cooper
- 14:25Didn't get cleared
- 14:27For a long time and by the time he was getting cleared a lot of teams and GM's they have already did their rounds and went to you
- 14:36Know pro days and private workouts and did whatever homework that they needed to do on whatever player that they really wanted to draft
- 14:44So when you have that mixed with you know his private workouts being as late as they were in the season in the offseason
- 14:53It probably made a lot of teams not really interested in him
- 14:58beforehand, okay
- 15:00But when you have teams like the Eagles who recognize that they do need
- 15:06To get their secondary to be a little bit younger, of course, they're gonna double dip and it worked it worked
- 15:13They were able to get Quinn y'all Mitchell who is
- 15:17By all regards probably the most balanced corner out of this cornerback draft class
- 15:22you're talking about someone that can play both man and
- 15:25Zone coverage and does it very well not very handsy
- 15:30His technique is phenomenal great coverage just all around great player
- 15:34And then you have Cooper D'Ajean who can play both corner and safety
- 15:39But I think the eels will probably use him more in the safety position compared to corner position, right?
- 15:46and when you look at teams for instance like the Falcons
- 15:51Because we are gonna talk about it. We are about this for a while. I really did have to sleep on this now to talk to
- 15:57My friends about this shout out to move shut out to Shane
- 16:02On one hand, it was a bad move. It really was
- 16:06simply because
- 16:09you have all these other pressing needs on the team and
- 16:12That that could have waited honestly speaking here
- 16:16Because now what you see is?
- 16:19Unnecessary drama that is going to linger into the offseason
- 16:23Into the summer into OTA's into training camp into the preseason and eventually into the regular season. Okay?
- 16:30Not to mention the Falcons just signed Kirk Cousins to a long-term deal now
- 16:35I understand there are there are people that are going to say well Kirk Cousins is coming off of a major injury and he's up in age
- 16:42Yes, that is true. That is very true. However
- 16:46That doesn't mean that you use your first round pick to address that problem
- 16:51You could have waited into the second third or fourth round to address that position you could have you still have Michael Pratt
- 16:58You still had Jordan Travis. You still had
- 17:03Spencer rattler you had Joe Milton you had a plethora of different quarterbacks that still would have been
- 17:09Available in the later parts of the draft
- 17:12So for you to draft Michael Penix that high was unnecessary not to mention. He is an older prospect
- 17:20He is a player right now that is ready to start day one
- 17:25He doesn't have time to be waiting to three four five maybe six years
- 17:31He doesn't he's already an older player anyway, so
- 17:36You're already creating drama because now anytime Kirk Cousins doesn't make the right play
- 17:44Doesn't throw the right pass doesn't execute the right play whatever the case may be
- 17:49They're all gonna say oh get in Michael Penix kicking get in Michael Penix get a man bring a man bring a man bring a man
- 17:55They're all gonna do that and so now
- 17:58Kirk Cousins is basically, you know looking over his shoulder because he realizes at some point
- 18:04If I go through a stretch where I'm not being you know the Kirk Cousins now that I was with the Vikings
- 18:10Where I'm not being as productive where I'm not putting up, you know
- 18:14Touchdowns and making big plays and whatnot. Oh, they're gonna bench me
- 18:18They're gonna bench me not only are they gonna bench me
- 18:22They're probably gonna find a way to get off of my contract and so
- 18:27You you just don't make that type of move. You just don't you don't I don't care who you are
- 18:34As a GM who is not on the team right now
- 18:38Who has you know gone through this situation?
- 18:41Himself, you just don't make that type of move. You don't you just do not make that type of move
- 18:47There were so many other holes on the Falcons roster that needed to be addressed and quarterback wasn't
- 18:56Okay, you could have instantly
- 18:59Boosted up that defense by getting one of those corners by getting a terry on Arnold or Kool-Aid McKinstry or Cooper Dijine
- 19:06Or a Johnny Newton or a Tavondre sweat
- 19:10Whoever you could have addressed that position
- 19:12You could have but instead you wanted to say, oh, we're gonna get Michael Pennings
- 19:17There's nothing that you can say as a GM as an owner
- 19:23Whoever there's nothing that you can say that can justify that pick nothing and if I'm the GM on the Falcons
- 19:31I
- 19:32Have to pray and hope that this goes in my direction because if it doesn't
- 19:38I'm basically going to get fired my job is on his job is on the line at this point
- 19:43It is
- 19:44Because you don't make that type of move when you just signed a veteran quarterback to the type of money that they just signed
- 19:52Curcussing you only make that type of move when you have already had a veteran quarterback in place
- 19:58And now they're at the tail end of their career and they're you know, it's just time for a fresh start
- 20:05Other than that, you don't make that type of move you steadfast you figure out what you need to do
- 20:11You dress certain holes and just move forward honestly
- 20:15But enough about the Falcons because just thinking about it just irritates my soul
- 20:21Let's talk about let's talk about some of the winners and losers
- 20:25Of the draft honestly speaking here. So for me personally and this is just me. This is just my analysis. I could be wrong
- 20:32We can talk about you know, we can talk about this for the next two or three four weeks doesn't matter to me
- 20:39Me personally I feel like the Bears one of course
- 20:42Simply because they drafted their quarterback because we all knew they were gonna get Caleb Williams and
- 20:47They added another receiver to that stack offense ladies and gentlemen
- 20:53I don't think people realize how stacked that offense is they have they now have Kayla Williams
- 21:00They have Kenan Allen DJ Moore now Roma Dunes a they still have equineerious
- 21:07St. Brown. I'm excuse me if I am pronouncing your name wrong. I am so sorry
- 21:12They still have cold commit and they got Deandre Swift
- 21:17That's a good offense right there. That is an offense that can you know when some games with the Lions with the Packers
- 21:25With the Vikings honestly speaking here. You have the commanders who?
- 21:31They did get one of the best
- 21:34Quarterbacks and especially within their division now they're in a place where you know
- 21:40If they if they maybe make a few more trades and whatnot and if they continue to stay on this path
- 21:46They could definitely be in a place where they could compete
- 21:52Against the Eagles
- 21:53they really can't a
- 21:55Up next is the Steelers. Yes, the Steelers did draft very well, okay?
- 22:01Their their first two picks definitely address
- 22:05Pressing needs on the offense and they got the players that they have really been eyeing for
- 22:11Since you know since the offseason, okay?
- 22:14If you would have told me that Troy Fatah new would have dropped to 20
- 22:18I would have called you a liar, but it happened, okay?
- 22:21And you know that was a great pickup. He's probably be moved over to right tackle, which is perfectly fine
- 22:27I'm all here for it and then with them getting exact Frazier as well. That was an amazing pickup
- 22:35This guy can do it all. Okay?
- 22:39great player great mindset great leadership
- 22:44You know basically walked off the field after
- 22:48Basically breaking his leg just just so the team doesn't avoid getting a penalty. All right
- 22:55That is a different type of mindset, especially for center and not to mention
- 23:01He has said that he models his game after Creed Humphrey. So let's see what this happens
- 23:09Steelers fans. Let's see what happens now. I see I did it. I did it wasn't bias wasn't bias. Nope
- 23:16I lied. We are going to be amazing this year folks. Okay, we are going listen any
- 23:24Ravens fan any bangles fan any Browns fan that says all the Steelers aren't gonna do anything. Guess what you're lying
- 23:32You're lying you are lying. Let us not get one of these receivers
- 23:39Okay, let us
- 23:41Not be the powerhouse that we used to be. Oh my god
- 23:46We're going to create some noise. You got Broderick Jones at left tackle
- 23:50You got Isaac see a model at left guard. You got Zach Frazier in the middle
- 23:55You got James Daniels on the right side and then you got Troy for Tom new at right tackle. What are you gonna do with that?
- 24:03Nothing, there's nothing that you can do about not to mention
- 24:08You got the two headed monster and in Jalen Warren and in Najee Harris and you got move
- 24:16What are you gonna do?
- 24:19What are you gonna do now?
- 24:22moving forward
- 24:25Moving forward. Um now going on to the Saints. The Saints definitely won. They definitely address a very
- 24:33Pressing need that has suddenly emerged with Ryan Ramcheck basically on the verge of medically retired retiring
- 24:42You know, they drafted Talibis Foucault, which he was regarded as one of the best
- 24:47Right tackles in this draft class. So I'm all in all a very great pickup
- 24:54Cowboys. Yes, Cowboys fans. I'm talking about you guys in a positive way. You can start clapping now
- 25:00Um, the Cowboys decided to draft Tyler Guy, which I mean
- 25:05When you look at the Cowboys history, they have always produced
- 25:10Good great and elite offensive linemen. If you don't believe me look at their history books
- 25:17They have produced
- 25:19Offensive linemen very very very well within the last 15 or 20 years
- 25:23However, they have not gone to the Super Bowl since 1995 just have to put that in there. Sorry Cowboys fans moving forward
- 25:32When you look at the Eagles as I said before earlier on the Eagles are one of the few teams that definitely
- 25:39Have a plus grade in my book simply because you drafted Cooper D'Ajean and you got Queen Yaw mentioned not to mention
- 25:48They got Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Which is you know great story
- 25:54That defense right now is looking really scary really really really scary. Okay, you got Darius lay
- 26:02Quinn Yaw Mitchell James Badbury
- 26:05CJ Garner Johnson Cooper D'Ajean Jeremiah Trotter Devon white
- 26:10Nicoby Dean Jalen Carter Jordan Travis Brandon Graham Joss sweat and Bryce Huff
- 26:16Listen, the Eagles are gonna make some noise this year folks. They're gonna make some noise
- 26:26Noise I tell you noise
- 26:30Moving on to the Chiefs Chiefs are the Chiefs basically they got Xavier worthy
- 26:35Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to you utilize him
- 26:38Sort of like an a Tyree kill-esque type of way
- 26:42Simply because Andy Reed, you know is the mastermind that he is
- 26:47So, you know only time will tell with that
- 26:51Jets I
- 26:53Yeah, I would say so
- 26:55With them drafting a little a little for Sean you you know, that was definitely a great pickup
- 27:00It allows him to learn from Tyron Smith as well
- 27:04It's just a matter of will he
- 27:07Go and play right tackle or will he sit on the Tyron Smith for one year and learn?
- 27:14The next team the Ravens. Yes, the Ravens the Ravens
- 27:19Stood still they stayed patient and in doing so they got Nate Wiggins. Okay, one of the fastest corners
- 27:27In this draft class. Let's face it here folks
- 27:31with the
- 27:33History that the Ravens have shown when it comes to their secondary. This was a good pickup
- 27:38This was a really good pickup now
- 27:40They have a corner who can go strive for strive with the likes of Tyree kill who can go strive for strive with the likes of
- 27:47Jalen waddle and other faster receivers not to mention
- 27:51He also has the length to go one-on-one with a lot of these taller receivers as well
- 27:58So all in all great job for the Ravens
- 28:01Moving on the Vikings the Vikings definitely won because they were one of the teams that were very aggressive
- 28:07They wanted JJ McCarthy. They got JJ McCarthy and on top of that they got Dallas turning
- 28:13Dallas Turner as well. So all in all great job for them. Bucking nears. They got grand Barton
- 28:19Since Ryan Jensen has retired. They definitely have been trying to find, you know that next
- 28:26Great center and so now they have grand Barton
- 28:29You know, I definitely wanted the Steelers to get grand Barton
- 28:33But I think him going to the bucket nears might be a better
- 28:37Choice for him now moving on to the Lions. Lions did a really good job as well. They did they definitely did a great job
- 28:47With them drafting Tarion Arnold
- 28:50in replacement for camera signing with the whole you know ongoing
- 28:55investigation with him and his
- 28:57Allegations Tarion Arnold, you know, definitely will play a very big role in that secondary
- 29:05You're talking about somebody whose technique is very refined very just all around really good corner
- 29:13You know can play can play man can play zone, you know, just Alabama corners, you know, just doing their thing all around
- 29:21this guy is
- 29:23Someone that's just gonna be all over the field. Okay, he is gonna go mano a mano
- 29:30With the best receiver on the opposing team and most likely he is going to get the job done
- 29:36Okay, now the next team is the Jaguars. Yes, they drafted Brian Thomas, Jr.
- 29:42If you would have told me that Brian Thomas would have fallen the way that he did to the Jaguars
- 29:47I would have called you a liar
- 29:49All in all great receiver great physical receiver can definitely go up there and get those 50-50 balls
- 29:57Just all around
- 29:59a great weapon to add to the Jaguars offense
- 30:04Now on to the losers of the draft here we go
- 30:09Of course, the Falcons have to be first if you want a team to mess up a draft
- 30:17Here is the team the Falcons, of course
- 30:20They had one job all you had to do was just draft somebody that was gonna help out with the defense
- 30:26Since the offense was in a good spot, but no, what did they decide to do? We're gonna draft Michael Pinnick's
- 30:33Case point not gonna say anything else about it
- 30:36When you look at the Raiders the Raiders definitely needed a quarterback
- 30:41Aiden O'Connell is not going to get the job done folks, especially in a division
- 30:47That has Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. I'm sorry. It's just not going to happen
- 30:53Them getting Brock Bowers. I mean that is another weapon, but unless they're gonna go after
- 31:00Another quarterback, you know with a trader anything like that. I
- 31:04Don't know about this personally. Um the Broncos. Yes the Broncos
- 31:09Um
- 31:11Bolniks is sort of in the same situation as Michael Pinnick's I'm an older prospect
- 31:16Many people did not view him as a first round pick a lot of people viewed him as a second round pick
- 31:24He is entering into a situation where he's not he doesn't have a whole lot
- 31:29Around him, especially with the with the trade rumors going around that Cortland Sutton might be getting traded soon
- 31:36He's in a situation where
- 31:40His only receiver is gonna be Tim Patrick and Troy Franklin. That's it
- 31:46But you know only time will tell with that situation of the Panthers
- 31:51Yes, the Panthers on one hand. I
- 31:56Understand the move of getting Xavier Leggett. Yes great move. You know, they they definitely have surrounded Bryce young with a lot of weapons
- 32:03However, I
- 32:06Do feel like it. I'm not saying this because I'm a big person is for the offensive line
- 32:11But I do feel like they should have possibly tried to get a offensive lineman
- 32:18It's it's okay to have all the weapons in the world
- 32:20But if you don't have any protection, you can't throw it to anybody, right?
- 32:24Especially with him being a smaller statute quarterback. He needs to be protected
- 32:29That's the only way he's gonna be able to feed it to Xavier Leggett
- 32:34Deontay Johnson and company. That's the only way that this experiment works. Okay?
- 32:40And finally the main loser of the 2024 NFL draft is Malik neighbors. Yes, Malik
- 32:49neighbors
- 32:51Oh
- 32:52Man, if you guys have not seen the video that I'm talking about I'm getting ready to talk about
- 32:58Going YouTube and you will find it
- 33:01So when he came to the Giants, you know to visit the facility meet the coaches and whatnot
- 33:07He gave sort of that face where it's like, okay, you know what?
- 33:12Why am I here? Why am I?
- 33:15Why did this team drafted me? I should have dropped down to the other teams. I want to be on a playoff team
- 33:21I don't want to be on this crappy team
- 33:23Those were the vibes that Malik neighbors was giving off now
- 33:30Unfortunately, you are stuck with the Giants for the next, you know five years and unless they go and make a swing on a quarterback
- 33:37Or whatever the case may be you're stuck with them. My boy. I'm sorry, but you are
- 33:43But before I end this podcast, I have to give recognition as well as their flowers
- 33:50former Broncos
- 33:53Chargers and Saints cornerback Chris Harris has announced his retirement from NFL
- 33:59If you guys don't know who Chris Harris was Chris Harris played a very pivotal role in the no fly zone defense for the Broncos
- 34:06That ultimately won a Super Bowl with paint Manning and Super Bowl 50
- 34:10He has decided to walk away from the NFL altogether. So congratulations to him
